Where are you getting the name of the enemy from? Is it in the game somewhere?

Nothing in game as far as I know, I just picked a name that seemed obvious.

Is English not your first language? Because at least in America that word is basically a slur for short people. Did you mean something more like elf or leprechaun?

I’m being genuine here, by the way, not passive-aggressive. I know tone can be hard to read on the Internet, so I thought I’d clarify.

Brother, midget is not a slur.

It is actually. Little people (one of the correct terms for referencing people with dwarfism) hate being called the "m-word".

lol. little person sounds way worse, imagine being called a dwarf or VERTICALLY CHALLENGED HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. Their just really f'ing short. No need to call them a little person or a midget. Although midget would be a perfectly reasonable term in this circumstance, as its just a fictional character, and not even human one at that.

No offense intended there, English is not my first language. The figure does not look like a leprechaun to me though. I Would dwarf be a more uncontroversial choice of words here?

Dwarf is the preferred term by a lot of short people as far as I know, and I guess this resembles the mythological dwarf enough to make sense. I just saw it as more of a joker-like figure (the card, not the Batman villain).
